Ludwig Frankenstein (Dr. Frankenstein's second son played by Cedric Hardwicke) attempts to help his father's monster (Frankenstein's monster played by Lon Chaney Jr.), while his daughter Elsa (played by Evelyn Ankers) tries to pursuade him not to go ahead with his plans. With the help of Wolf Frankenstein's assistant's (Ygor played by Bela Lugosi), Ludwig Frankenstein goes ahead with his plans, but it eventually backfires in the Ghost of Frankenstein.
